Through one of life’s most vulnerable seasons, every family deserves caring, calming and compassionate support. It’s an honor to help families transition through labor and into their new family structure through my work as a doula.
LET'S CONNECTAddy Heyn is a birth & postpartum doula to new & growing families. She studied birth and postpartum care with DONA International at Bastyr University, receiving certification as both a Certified Birth Doula and Certified Postpartum Doula through DONA International. In addition, Addy is also a Washington State Certified Doula. She is compassionate and nurturing in her role as doula and thrives through helping families find their new balance and joy. She values the care of each part of the family, making sure not only the birthing person is cared for, but that the family is set up for success in the season of so much transition. She has experience with a variety of family compositions, including working with families of multiples. She looks for ways to create positive lasting memories on the journey of parenthood and support, as well as create systems of care that work for each individual family.
Addy’s calm, patient and empathetic demeanor has been essential in her work with children with disabilities, as a hospitality ambassador and care-giver as she’s forged a community and sense of independence for those she cares for. Addy is passionate about connecting people to guides, resources and communities that will help them thrive. She seeks to find answers & science-based resources for any of your questions. No question is out of bounds to explore, and she looks forward to offering you encouragement and reassurance in your journey.
When not caring for new families, Addy enjoys being creative in the kitchen through food and drink, creating something with her hands like crafting a table or making incredible lattes. She is a professional photographer, and thrives on adventures and time at home with her husband of 8 years and toddler. Addy currently calls West Seattle her home and serves families all around Seattle and the Eastside.
Addy offers Professional Birth Photography Services. These may be available upon request for an additional fee.
We used Addy Heyn for our birth and had a wonderful experience. She was great at helping us getting prepared beforehand and provided the support we needed throughout the birthing experience. Expecting Joy Doula Services was very easy to communicate with and helpful in getting me all the right documents for insurance purposes. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a doula!

My doula from this company, Addy, was absolutely amazing. She provided such personal care every step of the way and was so intuitive in knowing my needs, especially during labor. I would highly recommend her! I shall forever be grateful that she got to be a part of the birth of our son.
